Throughout March, the world celebrates International Women’s Month to honor women’s achievements
and advocate for gender equality. In the Philippines, March also marks the beginning of summer – a time
associated with rest, travel, and bonding with loved ones. However, ongoing geopolitical tensions are
casting a shadow over summertime this year, bringing with it a wave of economic uncertainty and the
need to adjust priorities for many.
Recognizing this shift, CIMB Bank Philippines encourages women to navigate this uncertainty by using
this season to prepare financially. This entails reassessing their priorities to make space for goals aligned
with today’s realities, such as building an emergency fund, setting aside savings for essential expenses,
or generally strengthening their financial safety net.
According to a report by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies, 55% of Filipino women have
savings. This is already a good start, which is why CIMB Bank PH wants to empower them even further
by providing tools that can help them take even better control of their financial future, no matter the
season.
One such tool is the Own My Goals (OMG) feature within the CIMB Bank PH mobile app. OMG is
designed to help users set, track, and achieve multiple savings goals with ease. They can also automate
their monthly savings through OMG’s Auto Save feature, allowing them to immediately safekeep their
money regularly. Whether saving for immediate needs or future plans, OMG enables users to allocate
funds intentionally, monitor their progress, and stay disciplined – all within a secure and accessible digital
platform.
To help create a well-rounded set of goals, OMG allows users to create up to 10 personalized UpSave
accounts and one GSave account that can each be linked to an individual goal. Customers can easily line
up their emergency funds, backup funds for utilities, medical fund, and many more, and conveniently view
them on the OMG dashboard inside the app. Each goal can be customized by assigning a background
theme and matching icon to distinctly label them for easier tracking. Reminders can also be set on a
weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis in the app to never miss a deposit.
Set and track your financial goals easily with CIMB Bank PH’s Own My Goals feature.
With everything happening around the world, being financially prepared is more important than ever. By
shifting from the mindset of spending to more intentional planning, Filipinas can face life’s uncertainties
with more confidence and feel more in control of their future.
